Abstract
The research was carried out to study the mineral and anti-nutrient contents of flour blends produced from plantain(P) and breadfruit(B).The study evaluated the mineral contents(calcium, potassium, sodium, magnesium, iron and zinc), and anti-nutrient (tannin, phytate and oxalate) of the flours using standard methods. The flour blends were formulated in the following proportions: (100P:0B, 75P:25B, 50P:50B, 25P:75B, 0P:100B). The mineral content of the flour blends have calcium content ranged from 5.03 to 24.38mg/g, magnesium 55.72 to 66.00mg/g, potassium 826.09 to 1010.58mg/g, sodium 89.15 to 105.06mg/g, iron 6.17 to 8.47mg/g and zinc0.92 to1.09mg/g. Anti-nutrient value of the blends contain tannin ranging from0.41 to 1.81%, phytate 0.52 to 1.21% and oxalate 0.71 to 2.62%. The results showed that sample E (100B:0P) has the highest value of calcium, sodium and potassium while sample A (100P:0B) has magnesium, iron and zinc. The anti-nutritional factors (Tannin and Phytate) of all the samples were found to be lower than the threshold limit (Tannin 60 mg/100g, Phytate 22.1 mg/100g), hence, will pose no danger to consumer’s health.
